Help With A Birthday Party Theme

[FinsUp]

My daughter is turning 5 next month and has chosen a "purple and red rockstar" theme for her party. We have no idea what constitutes a rockstar party and neither does she. She loves purple and red, especially together, and likes to sing. She is not at all into Disney, Hannah Montana, Bratz, Barbie, etc. We were thinking of a lot of star-shaped stuff (cake, cupcakes, sandwiches) but we're at a loss for activities. Do you think 5 is too young for karaoke? Aside from typical kids' songs (not pop songs), she's pretty well versed in Jimmy Buffett! LOL! Do they make kids' karaoke music? Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are planning to use a room at our local community center for the party.

My daughter wanted a rockstar party for her third birthday. For favors, we bought everyone little maracas and drumsticks. We found lots of cute decorations at Party City: guitars, records, stars, etc. The website marsbrightideas.com has some cute ideas for a rockstar party. We have a Fisher Price Karaoke machine that hooks up to the TV so they can watch themselves on TV that is all kids' songs (but there are no words with it). Rockstar dress-up was the hit at our party (feather boas, sunglasses, fun hairstyles).

My kids have enjoyed doing karaoke for many years.

If you don't have one, you can get a machine for her birthday gift - they are not too expensive. And they make all kinds of karaoke CDs, including kids songs. If you can't find any locally (try WalMart, etc.) you can order off the internet. We have had great success with Karaoke.com - can get them shipped to you in just a few days.

Or you can always just get a microphone!

Thanks for the suggestions! I had a feeling we would need feather boas!
